webfact Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Chicken exports to China increases 700% amid swine fever outbreak BANGKOK, 19 September 2019 (NNT) - The soaring pork price,s due to the swine fever outbreak in China, have led to an over 700% increase in Thailand’s chicken exports between January and July this year Kukrit Arepagorn, the Manager of the Thai Broiler Processing Exporters Association, revealed that, due to the highly increased price of pork in China, Chinese consumers have increased their demand for chicken. As a result, from January to July this year, China has imported around thirty-three-thousand-five-hundred tonnes of chicken meat and products from Thailand, a 712% year-on-year increase. This figure has made China the third largest export market for chicken meat and products from Thailand, after Europe and Japan. Recently, officials from General Administration of Customs of China came to Thailand for a safety inspection of 10 poultry factories. The results are expected to be announced soon. Currently, there are 7 chicken factories in Thailand which are certified by the Government of China and which can export frozen chicken meat and products to the country. If there are more Thai factories which pass the assessment, exports will increase further. -- © Copyright NNT 2019-09-19 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsider Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The bigger concern is, can China keep the swine fever outbreak under control and within its borders. The last thing we want is another swine-flu scare in SEA like we did some years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vietnam's Pig industry has been ravaged, and it is also present in Laos, Cambodia and Burma. As those 3 countries do not have strong veterinary health systems, know one knows how badly they are affected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
